    Description
    This course focuses on an in-depth study of fairy tales, picture books, chapter books, bildungsroman, and other stories for children. Students learn to apply key concepts of Bruno Bettelheim's psychoanalytic theory and Joseph Campbell's idea of the monomyth, as well as understand how evolving historical, social, and theoretical attitudes toward childhood have shaped the field of children's literature.
